RADIATOR SECTION.

Application led August. 5., 1926. Serial No; 127,201.

The present invention pertains to a novel radiator section of the type which forms a separable unit in a complete radiator.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a passage running longitudinally throughy the section and open to the atmosphere, whereby the area of contact between the atmosphere andthe heated walls of the section is increased. Hitherto this result has 4been obtained by passing pipes or tubes through the section and fastening them in the top and bottom of the section.v lThis construction is, however, defective in that it increases considerably the cost of installaf tion and results in a radiator of awkward appearance. v

The present invention overcomes these defects by providing a radiator section cast in such a way that, when assembled7 the air passages will be formed without the insertion of separate tubes. Each radiator scction is cast in 'two parts called semi-sections, each of which has a straight inner wall with a depression running longitudinally thereof.

=` When two semi-sectionsare assembled, the.

depressions in the inner walls are brought together so that a continuous opening is formed from top to bottom without changing the exterior appearance of the radiator, except that the ends of the passages are visible. The semi-sections are joined preferably by means of hollow nuts threaded through the straight walls and inserted through the usual circulation ports. y

The invention is f llydisclosed i'n the following description and in the accompanying drawings in which;

Figure 1 is an outside elevation of a radiator section constructed according to the invention; f

Figure 2 is an elevation at the inner wall of one of the semi-sections;

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a section on the line 1 -4 of Figure 1; and

Figure 5 is a section on the line5-5 of Figure 1.

Reference to these views will be made by use of like characters which are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout.

The radiator section constructed according to the invention is of the two branch type comprising branches land 2 with an air space 3 therebetween. The section is constructed of two semi-sections of substantiallyl the same coniiguration. IThe semi-sections are formed by passing a plane through the branches 1 and 2 in such a manner as to bisect them. y

Each semi-section comprises therefore anouter curved wall 4 for each e branch as shown more clearly in Figure a. The edges of the wall l are joined by a straight inner ywall 5 whereby an enclosure 6 vis formed.

A depression 7 is made ineach inner wall so that when the semi-sections are assembled, the depressions in adjacent walls 5 form an air space 8 extending longitudinally of the branches 1 and 2 and open at the top and bottom.

The branches 1 and 2 are joined at the top andbottom as indicated by the numerals 9 and 1() respectively in Figure 1, and the walls 5 of each semi-section areI therefore also united` as designated by the numeral 11 in Figure 3. The semi-sections are joined at these regions, namely at the top and bottom, where the walls 5 are connected. The

connecting means consists preferably of holy low nuts 12 `threaded through the contacting inner walls 5 and disposedpreferably in line with the usual circulation ports 13 through which `they are'introduced within the section. It will be readily apparent, es-

pecially from Figure 3, that the hollow character of the nuts 12 provides, communication between the enclosures 6 ofthe -two semi-sections.

One of the curved walls 4f of each semisection is formed with continued lianges 14 in which theadjacent curved wall of the what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. A. radiator section comprising two semi-sections of like formation, each semisection having an innerwall and a curved outer wall forming'an enclosure having kthe lheight and substantially half the Width of a complete section, the inner Wall of each semi-section having a depression therein, the

and substantially half the Width of a coinplete section, the inner Wall of each serni- Ysection having e depression therein, the inner Walls and depressions of-y the semi-see .tions being coincident in the assembled sec'- tion, circulation ports formed in said outer Walls, and hollow nuts passed through said inner Walls in slinenient With said ports7 for securing said senil-sections together.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set'my hand.
